COPYRIGHT GUIDELINES

ALL of the website resources are FREE TO USE ON-LINE as a class resource as long as the pages are NOT COPIED into any electronic/CD/DVD storage system INCLUDING MOODLE, INTRANETS or EXTERNAL SCHOOL INTERNET SITES etc.

None of my own work is to be used or copied in the production of any webpage for the internet or an intranet.

I retain all copyright of ALL the content of the Hot Potato quizzes.

ALL site content, unless otherwise indicated is © of Dr W. P. Brown 2000-2012 - I'm a 'one man band'!

The only four pages free of copyright restriction are the 3 mini-site maps for

KS3 science, GCSE science-chemistry, Advanced level chemistry

and the GCSE chemistry notes absolute URL link page.

 You may copy and edit these four pages to suit your own purpose in linking to specific pages on my site BUT nothing else!

Sadly, I have already had to contact several schools on breach of copyright issues.

I make no apologies for running the two advert streams - now many years retired from science-chemistry teaching, the revenue pays for the web hosting site, domain name, computers, latest textbooks etc. However, I never mix the ads with the science-chemistry, the adverts are at the top and bottom of the page with lots of detailed 'unadulterated' notes between!

MAIN Science-CHEMISTRY AREAS and Question Style

click on icons guide used for navigation links * Feel free to email your thoughts on anything about the site

• INTRODUCTION - how you and your students can help!

  • THIS IS A NO FRILLS SITE!

  • I write 'old fashioned' textbook style notes and try to write to the highest academic level needed for a particular course.

  • The pages are written in simple old HTML 4.01 ? and I see no reason to write in elaborate style sheets.

  • The more sophisticated code for quizzes is provided by the free to use (if free to use online) 'HOT POTATO' software.

  • I'm aiming to write a completely integrated chemistry website to cover anything encountered before university (initial encounter age usually 11-18). There will be increasing links, backward/forward, and upward/downward, to aid transition from one academic level to another.

  • What do you, or your students, like or dislike about the site?

  • What country/course are your students doing? I'm UK based and its sometimes difficult to relate to other countries national grades or levels, so can you please help?

  • Suggest improvements? Email any possible Q or revision note errors AND any broken link (there are over 3000⁺ Q's and 4000⁺ links in the site!). 

  • Encourage the students to be familiar with the icon system and the academic level of the web pages.

  • The Google [SITE SEARCH] box is dedicated to this site, you can enter whatever key words or formulae etc. - even fragments of equations!

• UK school year Y7 to Y9, the chemistry and earth science, originally written for the SATs.
  • Usual minimum age UK 11-14, USA grades 6-8, Australia Y7-8? Caribbean Integrated Science Grades 7-8, Hong Kong Forms 1-3
    • multi-word fill work sheets, multiple choice quizzes and crossword puzzles etc.

• UK KS4 Y10 to Y11 (and = IGCSE)  chemistry, earth science and radioactivity
  • Usual minimum UK age 14-16, USA grades 9-10, Australia Y9-10?, Chemistry of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Grades 9, 10, 11, Hong Kong HKCEE Form 4 and Form 5

    • summary of everything available for this level of study

    • summary of support for the chemistry, earth science and radioactivity for any individual UK syllabus for AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CCEA or WJEC gcse science or chemistry syllabus

    • basic revision notes for most GCSE or IGCSE chemistry topics in single, double or triple award science or chemistry (should be complete by end of Jan 2004)

    • Earth science page (links to www, cue Q and answer notes)

    • multiple choice and multiple completion tests (usually for UK HT and FT entry level)

    • single short answer tests (usually for HT and FT chemical calculations)

    • structured questions

    • multi-word fill exercises - a bit cumbersome on-line but can be printed out with word list (for white background, make sure internet printer settings are such that 'background colour' is NOT printed)

    • crosswords - a bit cumbersome on-line but there are 'printing out' versions (for black background, make sure internet printer settings are such that 'background colour' WILL BE printed)

    • Matching pair exercises (simple short exercises - handy at start or end of a lesson for summary or review purposes)

    • Just a few exercises so far with jumbled sentences

• UK GCE AS (usually Y12) & A2 (usually Y13) level Organic, Inorganic & Theoretical Physical Chemistry
  • Usual minimum age UK 16-18 for pre-tertiary, college or university etc., USA grades 11-12, Australia Y11-12?, Chemistry of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) Grades 12-13, Hong Kong HKALE/HKEAA Advanced Level Chemistry
    • summary of links to everything available for advanced level chemistry
    • summary of links to advanced-subsidiary chemistry syllabus support
    • basic revision and research information notes
    • multiple choice and multiple completion tests (HT and FT)
    • single short answer tests (HT and FT)
    • structured questions
    • Matching pair exercises (a few handy simple short exercises)

• USA GRADES
  • 6th Grade - age 11-12
  • Middle School or Junior High: 7th Grade - age 12-13; 8th Grade - age 13-14
    High School (although some larger schools include 9th with 7th & 8th to make a Middle School)
  • 9th Grade - age 14-15 (commonly called Freshmen); 10th Grade - age 15-16 (commonly called Sophomores); 11th Grade - age 16-17 (commonly called Juniors); 12th Grade - age 17-18 (commonly called Seniors)

* Countries from which students or teachers has used Doc Brown's Chemistry website *

I am interested in equating the UK science education levels for 11-18 year olds with academic levels in other countries.  This site should always be free to use on-line, Google Adsense adverts pay for all the internet-broadband and web hosting fees and hopefully a new faster computer in the future and I try to ensure that most adverts in the science-chemistry sections concern educational material.
